Can't lose in the Finals if you don't win three series to get there
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (The latest on Micah Hudson isn't great...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
With regard to people having issues with David Pierce, this is one of the biggest problems with the Texas fanbase: entitlement. Augie and Gus didn't get the one name destinations without having to grow and develop over many years. Gus only won the big prize twice in the 16 trips he made to the CWS.
My take is he has not formed a great bond with Coach Jackson.
Didn't show up in the biggest moments. You could say he's the anti Emmitt Smith.
I can't imagine Emmitt would ever flop around the way Lebron does or shy away from having the ball in the most crucial moments.
Good work on Emmitt @Ketchum Honestly there may not be a bigger legit superstar who is more underrated than Emmitt. So many fall for the flash of Sanders but Emmitt was simply a significantly better all around RB and certainly a tougher one. Give me Emmitt all day
@Ketchum doesn’t write something like that based on a blip in time. People have been ignoring some rather clear warning signs on this one. Here’s a hint. The moment Tech was reported as a major player over the likes of a tOSU was a big early one
Barry Sanders was an incredible RB with the best highlights of all time...
That being said, he would rip off a dazzling 20 yd run and everyone would go "Oooohh Ahhh"; the next run would be for -3 yds and then the offense would be in 2nd and 13 and fail to score.
Look up how many years Barry Sanders had the most runs for 0 yds or negative yards. I know he led the league in that stat at least one year and I would guess multiple years.
Also let's talk about heart for a moment.
Go back to that 2nd Super Bowl against the Bills and re-watch what was known as "The Drive" where the Cowboys took the game over for good by giving the ball to Emmet every play except one (pass to Novacheck if I remember correctly).
Now show me any moment where Barry Sanders showed that kind of heart.
There's truth in this. Very Alabama football vibes at times.
That bond is still forming, but it's not at the root of the corrent issues.
Marion didn't help when he was here, though.
LeBron is a 4-time Finals MVP
I really don't understand some of the thoughts about LeBro that many have.
Seriously... look at this resume.
I don't want to call out the issue and particular coach that helped create a bit of a disconnect, but it's not Jackson.
I will fight the good fight all day long if that good fight is related to Emmitt Smith.
And I ay that as I guy that got stiffed by Emmitt for multiple seasons for an autograph back in the day when they trained at St. Edwards. 😂
Sorry, but Emmitt does not belong above Jim Brown if the standard is how their ability compared to their contemporary competition. Emmitt was no where near as dominant a force as Brown, who was a man among boys in the NFL. This is not close. Emmitt had the best line and blocking fullback in history opening holes for him.
I think your relative youth is showing with respect to an older player. And I never liked Jim Brown, love Emmitt.

Daryl Johnson and that offensive line owe everything they ever achieved to Emmitt Smith and not the other way around.
The mistake that Sark can't make it giving out 15 scholarships to guys that are 2-3 year projects.
It's a waste of time in this age of college football.
What are his politics? He made some foolish comments about China. Outside of that, I don't recall him ever discussing anything related to politics.
So, so wrong. Totally upside down. That is not how it works. Never has been. Can't believe you think that.
He's a great player no doubt. Arguably one of the best. Where he ranks can be debated, but there's no question his record in the Finals is a blemish on his resume.
Indeed. If you’re working with generally 25 a year and slots 17-25 are 2-3 star types then you are just wasting ur time.
I know it isn't this exactly, but this has the feel of something like asking Colton Vasek about his lacrosse game (mistaking him for Ethan Burke)- just something about not doing the homework about the recruit and/or his family.
Which seems to be mostly out of character for this staff, but probably happens here and there with all staffs.
Does his relationship with the coaches really matter that much? Would he follow Joey and his wide receiver coach to A&M if that job opened up next year?
Emmitt is the Hall of Fame player. The others were his band of merry men.
That's just a fact.
Most of these guys were complete Jags before he arrived. Look up Tuinei and Newton's careers pre-1990.
Lol! He took the f’n CAVALIERS to the finals half of his total 10 appearances. By your dumb standards he would have been better off not dragging a bunch of JAGS well beyond their expectations.
How many times did he lose in the Finals with the better team?
The answer matters.
